How Soon We Forget

How soon we forget, how soon we let go. Christmas is in the rear view mirror. It’s over. Shouldn’t the same joy permeate our hearts after the Christmas event? It’s not over it’s only starting. But isn’t that how we do? Isn’t that how we pray? When it’s over it’s done. There should be more of a lingering, to bask in the moment. We bask in the wrong moments. We bask in foolishness to often. We bask in jealousy and envy too often. We bask in gossip too often. We bask in unforgiveness way too long. And it’s all because don’t bask longer in communion with God. We don’t pause longer in his presence in prayer. 

Don’t forget - don’t let go. enough for now.

Walk in Your Blessing

There is a way you walk when you know whose you are. It’s a little strut that says you know you have walked up out of something, you know you are victorious. Walk in your blessing. 
     “Blessed are all who fear the Lord, who walk in obedience to him. You will eat the fruit of your labor;       
     blessings and prosperity will be yours. Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your house; your children   
     will be like olive shoots around your table. Yes, this will be the blessing for the man who fears the Lord. 
     May the Lord bless you from Zion; may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life. May you    
     live to see your children’s children— peace be on Israel” (Psalm 128 NIV).
Daughter, son, walk in your blessing. enough for now.

That’s How

Do you ever wonder how you make it from day to day? I mean in spite of your own craziness? Even when you don’t pray as you should? Somebody prayed for you. Somebody said your name. Somebody blessed your life. Even if it was the benediction at church. The blessing flows. 

Bless back. Bless God back. You can through prayer and communion with God. You can through loving one another, loving self. Through thinking positively  and removing all negativity. Watch what happens. Your day to day becomes so much more. Watch what God is doing. That’s how you do it. enough for now.

Who are You Trusting?

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, 
and he will make your paths straight” (Prov. 3:5,6 NIV). KJV says he will direct your path. Directing your path does make it straight for you. It untangles some things. It rearranges some things. 

Who do you trust? Anything other than God will take you on a tangled journey. It’s not your. It’s not what he had for you. Take time with this. Why do you continue down the same path with the same outcome that does you no good? Shift where you place your trust. Watch what God does.  A simple message with so much power. Let that permeate your spirit today. enough for now.

It’s Moving

Do you know how many times we let time slip away from us? We get too busy with trivial matters, or get distracted by stuff; and we get stuck right there, missing, losing time. Yet, time keeps moving. And if we keep missing - we will miss the awesomeness of our life. Check yourself, your thoughts - it starts there. See where you can shift your focus- not necessarily to be ‘more busy’ but to hear God clearer and then you can find yourself in time, moving with time. enough for now.

Oh How!

There is a name I love to hear. Oh how I love Jesus! That’s the name. The name That is above all other names. The name that changes lives, changes situations, calms fears, releases distress, offers hope, healing, and peace. That’s the name. You call him. Call his name, Jesus. Sometimes that is all you need to do- call his name. Do that, watch what happens, get excited about what didn’t happen. enough for now.

Joy

There is so much turmoil and we need peace. My prayers are with Abaco and the Bahamas. We all need the joy of the Lord that permeates in spite of our surroundings. Get joy, and rest in it. Receive peace and walk in it. enough for now. 

Sunday, September 1, 2019

Be Still

There is so much going on. Some things in our control, some things out of our control. And too often we get bogged down through worry and fear. Stop. Get quiet. Listen. Hear Holy Spirit. And then breathe. Be still and know that He is God. He does have a plan. He is in control. enough for now.

Sometimes You Have to Say It

There are times that you must step up, step up, step away and tell it. Be clear what you are to tell. If you have been given instructions to tell it, and you don’t - then God will hold you responsible. Be sure, be clear. enough for now.

Watch for Him

“Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my Father in heaven” (Matt. 10:32,33 NIV) 

It’s not a hard thing. Start by recognizing and thanking God for every little thing. It will grow, and then you can tell others that it is not you, but God. Give God the props. Watch what God is doing in your life. enough for now.

A New Perspective

Each day should be a day of discovery. I have spent many years in discovery about what is could see, know, experience outside of self. Now I am discovering what I can see, know, experience new with self. There is a grand difference. Each day is indeed a new day to live, to experience, to thank Godfor what he has done, is doing, and will do. That is an adventure itself. It is the journey.

How You Living

“Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air. No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize” (I Cor.9:24–27 NIV).

We must be self -disciplined. We must recognize the true source of our strength. Then we can be clear. How you living? How you running? If you are trying to run as someone else -that’s not your race. If you are trying to I’ve like someone else- that’s not your life. Your life is important, love it. SSS what God has for you in all aspects. Stay in your lane. Its a good lane because it has been paved for you alone. Ready? Go. enough for now.

Sunday, July 7, 2019

Just Listen

Just listen. Get quiet and listen. Listen as you walk, listen as you work. Listen to life. Listen to your life. Don’t miss what’s happening. As you listen- watch what God is doing. You will see it was never you, it was God making the way possible. Listen and hold on to what you hear. enough for now.

Celebrate Community

Celebrate family. Celebrate unity. Celebrate community. Yes, there are some that may not be close to family.Then celebrate where you are. Celebrate that you can read this. Celebrate the love that you experience from God. Get still and feel. Get still and know. Get still and marvel that you are so loved.  If you don’t know it, if you don’t see it - contact me. Together let’s find you and your place in his will for you. You are not alone. Celebrate community. enough for now.

Sometimes

Sometimes we have to get quiet to hear. To reflect. To meditate. To be clear. To rest. Sometimes. I’veheard. I’ve reflected. I've meditated. I’m clear. I’ve rested. Now I invite you to do so. Watch what God is doing in your life. Don’t try to figure out someone else’s life- just yours. Just watch and be amazed. 

And to all the fathers- Happy Father’s Day! To the mothers who have had to be mothers and fathers- you are still mothers- blessings for your efforts. To those who have fathered but don't act like a father- you can start today, right now. Do a new thing- today. This is a chance to get it right. enough for now.

Today is What We Have

Yesterday, a lot of graduations were celebrated, weddings were performed, birthdays were celebrated. Today is someone’s birthday. Today is also someone’s day of death. We live between that birth and that death. All we have is today. Celebrate this day. Celebrate the good and the lessons learned. Celebrate the going out and the coming in. 

Celebrate your tears and your laughter. Celebrate your family, your friends, your not so friends. There is a reason. Celebrate that you are older, wiser than you were yesterday. If not wiser, then celebrate that you have a chance to learn anew today. Today is what we have. Happy day of life! enough for now.

Sunday, May 12, 2019

Look Around

Look around and marvel at what God has done in your life. Look around and see where you have been. Look around and recognize what you have learned. No, it all has not been easy, but it all has been for your good.  As you look around recognize the shoulder on whom you stand. The mothers and fathers, aunts and uncles, grandparents that watched over, praying for you, praying with you. Celebrate that you can do more, go farther than before. And if this is your beginning,if you had no one to cheer you on, you do now. Celebrate your renewal-today. 

Happy Mother’s Day to the biological mothers, the aunts and grandmothers, the surrogate mothers.  To those who birthed, to those who raised. Blessing of joy and peace and celebration of who you are. enough for now

Stand and Watch

Stand still. We move too much. We get too busy that we miss us, we miss God. Everything gets to twirling around and we think we can get it all done-but stressed out about it. Stand still. Shift your focus from what you think you have to do to what God is doing in your life. Watch - watch what happens when you let go. enough for for now.

He’s Not Dead

He’s not dead. Don’t look for him among the dead things. He lives so that you can live a life fully. He lives so that you can no longer be bound by the things that take away from your life. Celebrate that! Celebrate the possibilities of your life! All because he loves you. enough for now.

This Week

Palm Sunday marked the beginning of the highest week in Christendom.  As we continue in this Holy Week let us examine self. Take time to be with self and to look at where you are spiritually. Check in with Holy Spirit to see where your transformation can start, or can continue. There is always place for growth. Blessings on this time. enough for now.

Gratefulness

This is a great season to practice Gratitude. I think we all can benefit from being grateful. I think too many times we look at what we don't hav and get stuck there. But we do have so many reasns to be grateful. Think about. Take time today. enough for now.

Your Chance, Your Time

This is a great season for reflecting on where we are in life. Not to determine if you have succeeded or failed in your mission; but to recognize whether you are listening and following God's will. That's a different success or fail. And it is one that you can recover from as soon as you recognize. There is peace in knowing that you have a new chance starting now.

Now is your time, your time to live renewed. Take your time. enough for now.

Sunday, March 3, 2019

Listening

Too often we get too busy during busy and we can’t hear God. We can’t be clear of our direction. Allow yourself this day the time and the moment to be still. Be still. And listen. enough for now.

Walk Sure, Walk Steady

As you walk stronger, and surer the enemy will attempt to throw you off. Don't think it will come big and bold but many times small and simple. You must be clear and follow Holy Spirit's guide. You are on a different journey. Walk sure and steady. enough for now.

The Joy

Oh the joys of this day! The joy that is awaiting you this day. It belongs to you; you must take it. You must accept it. You don't want to refuse it. Take your time and savor each moment. Go ahead. enough for now.

Tuesday, February 19, 2019

Greet the Day

Greet the day! Greet the day with expectation that it all belongs to you. It does, it's your day. If you choose to make it crummy- that's on you. If you choose to be the victim - that's on you. There is so much more. Let go of the negativity and choose to be victorious. Choose to greet the day, loving what God has given you in this day. It's yours- take it!!! enough for now.

Yesterday, Tomorrow

Yesterday, I enjoyed a time of peace just traveling around. I saw some things I had not seen before and accomplished great rest and joy in a short time. When I returned home after a few hours I was exhilarated! That was yesterday. Now I look forward to a new and different day of exhilaration, a new but different day of exploration- of joy -of Peace. Today I have new mercies. 

What about you? Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow is not promised. All you have is Today. How do you look forward to this day? It’s your day! Celebrate . . . Give thanks . . . Receive the joy and peace of this day.  enough for now.

Saturday, February 16, 2019

Step by Step

Each day presents its own challenges- yes. But each day also presents its own mercies. You choose which day you look forward to see.  You choose. If you choose the challenges, you mass the mercies. When you choose to accept the mercies of the day, the challenges are minimized.  What do you choose? Choose this day. enough for now

Rest

Rest. . . Be still . . . Allow yourself a moment of receiving the Shalom of God. Invite God into that rest and be refreshed. Try it. enough for now

Keep Going

There is something refreshing when you walk in release of negativity. You can breathe! Practice releasing all negative thoughts today. And then start over tomorrow. enough for now.

Tuesday, February 5, 2019

No More Negativity

No more negativity. Cut it out of your life, Let it go. That's easy to say, but hard to do. Society has become so negative and it spills onto us. But we can walk unaffected by that negativity. It is a different walk, yet it can be done. Start with how you view self. Are you negative? Let's make a new patten, moving away from how you view self, how you feel about self. After all, you are created in God's image, and that can't be bad. Think on that. Let's start. enough for now.

Sunday, February 3, 2019

Stand

Yes, sometimes the way appears difficult. And even when you know that God has your back, you may get concerned that he doesn’t. He does. It is that concern that you can give him and watch. For some reason, we tend to think that there is a limit to what God can do- there is no limit. There is nothing that he cannot handle. There is nothing that is too big. No, he will not leave you this time.you only to stand and trust him. 

Yeah, you have trusted others and they let you down. Not God. Let go of the fear, the doubt, and let him walk with you. Watch what he does. It is never how we think about it. I love that. Stand. Stand on his promise to you- he will never leave you, nor forsake you. Just rest right there on that. enough for now.

Walk Your Own Path

As I was walking this morning I saw someone that I walked with before. I started to run to catch up her.  But I didn't. I realized that she was going one way and my path was going another way. We both were out walking for our health, but we were walking different ways. 

Too often we may give up the path we are to take to walk another's path  Their path looks so much more inviting, easier, more thrilling. But their path is designed for them. Your path is designed for you. And there are places on your path that it will be inviting, easier, more thrilling. it is your journey. Walk in it. enough for now.

Be Anchored



Whoa. The boat has gotten a little rocky.  The waves are trying to pick up. Yet, I hear "Peace. Be Still." And I realize that what I feel is already under control. Yes, there are times when you will feel the winds blowing at hurricane speed and the waves appear to be overtaking- but no. They won't. Rest in the safety, rest in the peace, that God has you.

Shift your focus from what you see to what you know to what you hear in Jesus. You can do that. You really can. I promise you can. enough for now.

Wednesday, January 16, 2019

Stand, Listen

There is so much going on that and we can get lost in the momentum of the moment. How are you hanging on? Are you okay with hanging on? If not, then let go. Let go and breathe. Take slow deep breaths. Now listen. . .

There is so much more for you. There is a place where you can hear, you can breathe. You can stop. You don't have to hang on, but you can stand. When you let go you begin to realize that a lot of the crazy that you were holding on to was never in your best interest anyway. While you are standing you can start to learn your values.  Yeah, you need to snow your values. And it all begins with letting go, and listening. Listen beyond the crazy. Listen with clarity. enough for now.

It All Belongs

“The earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof; the world and they that dwell therein” (Ps. 24:1 KJV). When you consider that one verse alone, that one fact, you can rest that God is watching and has you in mind. That you are not alone. See the power of that statement. When you recognize that it all belongs, that you belong; there is a place of peace and joy for you. 

How magnificent is that statement! You can seek God and that peace that comes. We all need to recognize that we need peace in the turmoil of the times. We need rest for our troubled minds, hearts. Rest that God does have this, in spite of what we see. It all belongs. enough for now.

Saturday, January 12, 2019

You Are Not Listening

Why is it that we listen to everything except God? Why do we trust untrustworthy people instead of trusting God? There is a plan for your life. But you must seek God in order to hear. You must watch what God is doing in your life. Don't be distracted by what is going on in the lives of others. Get quiet. Shhh. Listen. . . enough for now.

Saturday, January 5, 2019

Live It

The joy of this new year. The joy of a new start. The hope, the promise. Wow. That is how we usually start the year. But why not begin each day anew with that same expectancy? This is your day- live it to the utmost! enough for now.

Wednesday, January 2, 2019

Smile Laugh

It's day two of the new year.  Don't give up. Keep that same 'can do' spirit. Greet each new day as a day of joyous adventure. Greet each challenge as an adventure. Try something different today. Smile at at least one person. Laugh at something funny. I guess that means that you must look for someone that needs a smile ; and find the funny, the joy in someone. enough for now.

Tuesday, January 1, 2019

New Year

New Year. New Hope. New Promise. Walk in the promise, the hope of the new year. Don't miss what God is doing. enough for now.
